Midland Industries 2404-LL-06-04 Extra Long Jic Adapter

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 2404-LL-06-04 is a steel extra long hydraulic adapter designed to connect a 3/8-inch male JIC fitting to a 1/4-inch male NPTF port. The extended body length gives technicians additional clearance in tight installations where a standard-length adapter would not reach or seat properly. Machined from steel for durability under hydraulic system pressures, this adapter is a direct solution for crossing JIC and National Pipe Thread Fuel (NPTF) connection standards in a single fitting. It is used primarily by hydraulic technicians and fluid power specialists working on mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and related hydraulic plumbing systems.

The 2404-LL-06-04 fits applications where a JIC 37-degree flare line must terminate into an NPTF threaded port. The extra long series designation indicates a body length of 3.15 inches, providing clearance advantages in confined manifold or bulkhead environments. This fitting is suited for hydraulic circuits in agricultural equipment, construction machinery, and industrial fluid power systems where mixed connection standards are common and space constraints require a longer adapter profile.

Key Features

• Connects 3/8-inch male JIC to 1/4-inch male NPTF in a single adapter
• Extra long body at 3.15 inches provides clearance in tight or congested installations
• Steel construction for strength and resistance to hydraulic system demands
• NPTF thread form provides a dry-seal connection that resists leakage without sealant
• Compact cross-section at 0.65 inches wide suits confined plumbing environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for hydraulic systems using 3/8-inch JIC flare lines connecting to 1/4-inch NPTF ported components such as valves, manifolds, or pump housings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or fluid power specialist. Depressurize and bleed the hydraulic circuit fully before removing any existing fittings or installing this adapter. NPTF threads are designed for dry-seal assembly, but consult system specifications regarding the use of thread sealant. Ensure the JIC 37-degree flare connection is properly seated and torqued according to the equipment manufacturer's hydraulic fitting specifications.
